The United States expects to finish construction of a southern border wall by late 2027, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott says. Speaking in Washington at a Centre for Immigration Studies event, Scott describes a reinforced barrier made of metal beams intended to run along much of the US-Mexico border from San Diego to the Gulf of Mexico. He says there are limited exceptions in selected areas where officials decide the wall is not needed. According to the reports, Scott frames the “primary border wall” as being completed by the end of 2027, with the overall project aligned to that timeline. The outlets report consistent details about the intended route, construction material, and the expectation of completion by late 2027, while noting that the barrier would not be continuous in every location. The coverage focuses on the commissioner’s public remarks and does not add new information on funding, permitting, or construction progress beyond the stated target date.
